This name is the accepted name of a species in the genus Masdevallia (family Orchidaceae).

The record derives from WCSP which reports it as an accepted name (record 121599) with original publication details: Gard. Chron. n.s., 21: 408 1884.

There is apparently a CBR to Masd sororcula on record, but the team did not feel this was a match to the old award.  Mooreana is not in OP, and we need to confirm this so the new name can be added.
